🌱Initiatives and improvements in practice

We have not worked from a single overarching plan, but have continuously implemented a range of initiatives focused on optimizing resource consumption, energy use, and operations. 

The initiatives have been selected based on practical, operational, and financial considerations. Over time, this has established a clear direction in our efforts to reduce energy consumption and emissions. 

Below is an overview of completed initiatives, ongoing projects, and planned efforts for the future.

Completed initiatives

🚶Motion sensors

Installation of sensors in all warehouse facilities to automatically control lighting on and off

📹 Monitoring

Monitoring is primarily used for security purposes, butalso supports energy optimization by enabling easy inspection of facilities

📦 Electric forklifts

Ongoing replacement of diesel-powered forklifts with electric models. Currently, one diesel-powered unit remains

🚚 Transport optimization

Adjustment of sales and delivery terms with the aim of reducing the number of transports

⚙️ Frequency control

Optimization and regulation of energy-intensive production machinery to avoid unnecessary energy use

🔄 Automatic on/off systems

Automatic on/off controls have been installed in all welding booths to ensure that equipment is only active when in use

🗑️ Waste sorting

Sorting of materials such as aluminiumsteel, plastic, cardboard, and paper for recycling through external partners

🚪 High-speed doors

Installation of high-speed doors and airlocks to helt reduce heat loss

Projects with calculated effects

The stated calculations have been prepared by the suppliers who delivered the respective solutions.

Ongoing and planned initiatives

Electric vehicles

Initiated in 2025

Electric vehicles

Replacement of company cars with electric vehicles is being carried out on an ongoing basis. So far, one vehicle has been replaced. The impact on CO₂ emissions depends, among other factors, on driving patterns and the electricity mix

New ERP system

Initiated in 2025–2026

New ERP system

Implementation of a new system aimed at improving the data foundation for calculations and reducing the need for local server infrastructure

Data collection and CO₂ calculations

At JUMBO, we are working to map the company’s CO₂e footprint in collaboration with Dansk Industri, Jyske Bank, and Verarca.

The calculations are based on data from sources such as the ERP system, invoices, and energy consumption, which are collected and processed digitally.

A software tool is used to convert data into estimated emissions. Calculations are performed automatically by default but may, in specific cases, be adjusted based on documented information.

The objective is to ensure a data foundation that is as accurate and consistent as possible.
